Horchata

Horchata is a refreshing and creamy Mexican rice drink flavored with cinnamon and vanilla.

Ingredients - Serves 4

In a blender, combine the white rice, water, and cinnamon sticks. Blend until the rice is broken down and the mixture is smooth.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight for a stronger flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, discarding the solids.
Stir in the vanilla extract and sugar until well combined.
If desired, add milk for a creamier horchata.
Serve the horchata over ice cubes and sprinkle with ground cinnamon for garnish.
Enjoy the refreshing and creamy horchata!
